A friend of mine who lives in Portland has one. Seems like a nice board. Never hear about them on the 'fish Don't know about the durability, as its fairly new.

I have one and its held up super nicely. Even through all the rain, sand, gravel, and other stuff it still rides very nicely.
IMO go with that, because you know you will get a good quality board on the account of, its all hand made with love and care in every ply of wood. The only thing that I would do is ask for the grip tape on the side and put it on your self.
If you want a better review go to eastsidelongboards.com and check the message boards and pm Robin (Robskey) He will help you out.

I rode around a parking lot on one and it felt great. Robin makes great boards I would have no problem getting one for myself.

how is the concave?

**Hillslider** · 02-15-2008 03:51 PM

I like it a lot. I can actually get my size 15 feet somewhat locked in. What size are you feet?

size 8 or 9 I plan on using it for stand ups and drifting

I tried out that board at DB6, just cruised on it a tad. The concave felt super comfortable. The newer ones are apparently wider, so that should be a bonus.

That will be a really nice board for that. Plus its really stable.

awsome board i would get one if i needed a new speedboard I will get one if my evo ever breaks.

**Jace** · 02-16-2008 04:15 PM

i would most definitely recommend one. robin is an awesome guy and makes some killer decks. in my opinion the concave fits my size 10 feet extremely comfortably, really locks you in, but is less aggressive in the middle to really allow the arches of your feet much comfort especially while in a tuck.

definitely recommended... and definitely my next speedboard i will purchase

Jace you are correct sir. Robin is a very cool guy. Easy to deal with. Goes that extra mile to satisfy his customers. As to a pic or review. You will have to wait until the weekend. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.

Robin has a sick new topmount; it should be out soon. He posted about it on eastsidelongboards.com

I don't really like the drop board, the concave isn't steep enough for me. But the construction makes the board like a tank. Great board.

**aggro_jo** · 11-19-2009 01:51 PM

I got an eastside drop for a garage board and I absolutely love it. The concave is very mellow yet my feet seem to lock in for slides (as pathetic as mine are) with very little effort. the 5 degree wedge is awesome for quickly setting up for a slide or line.

I got a crappy pic I can upload...

let me know if you want a specific angle or better pic...

That board is his pro model.(I saw the new planed graphic for it last night and it looks sweet) gabetar may be talking about the new rocky bomber shape that Robin has been testing.
